The Only World Class Alternative to Traditional Body Piercing Apprenticeships

Like tattooing, body piercing artistry is a specialized trade that guards it's best practices and requires apprentices to seek out master craftsmen as mentors. The process of securing a mentor is arduous, even for the most dedicated and committed. Apprentices often trade in a year of their life doing remedial, unpaid, grunt work while learning the trade.

"The atmosphere of mutual support and encouragement relieved me of the any anxiety I usually have upon entering into a new environment.

I have in the past considered careers in graphic design and illustration; however, none of them really felt right to me... I feel so blessed. Words fail to convey how lucky I feel to have been able to study at the academy.

I want to continue to tattoo for the rest of my life!" Tattoo Artist, Nao Uchiyama
